Will Rafael Viñoly's new expansion for the Brooklyn Children’s Museum get a pop, Iconic name like the Gherkin et al?
The NYT examines.
The new museum — with its unorthodox silhouette and unconventional color — evokes some kind of exotic creature or physical experiment. That’s just what Mr. Viñoly wanted, he said: for the deep portholes to be “a mysterious thing that connects the space with the neighborhood” and for the structure itself to defy easy description and prompt further investigation.
“It’s a thing that’s impossible to define,” he said. “Because it really doesn’t look like a building.”
